In my W mind she felt that she needed to be entitled to an 80/20 split when she originally left as her perception of me was that of a man child not being capable of “adulting” (her words)... I fought that from the outset and she met with her attorney and agreed to 50/50. Her intent was that she was just waiting on her anticipated outcome of a legal situation I had going on for 3 years to leverage primary custody of S. That plan backfired when my situation was completely dismissed. Now she has no leverage and everything in writing and in our official parenting plan outlines the 50/50 split. It’s taken about a month for her to finally come to this realization.
The pride and ego comments are a result of the boundaries I put into place with our marital home. She had made these rules up when she left and I have kept true to them that I would have complete responsibility for the sale of our home and how to market it, etc. Now she’s trying to change those rules up and I’ve held firm.
What’s ironic is the more firm I’ve been in keeping my boundaries in line..the less she’s pushed back. A noticeable change especially the last couple of weeks.
